1. Chapter 2: Atomic Structure & Interatomic Bonding
ISSUES TO ADDRESS...
• What promotes bonding?
• What types of bonds are there?
• What properties are inferred from bonding?

2. Atomic Structure (Freshman Chem.)
atom – electrons – x kg  protons neutrons
atomic number = # of protons in nucleus of atom = # of electrons of neutral species
A [=] atomic mass unit = amu = 1/12 mass of 12C   Atomic wt = wt of x 1023 molecules or atoms   1 amu/atom = 1g/mol
C H etc.
} 1.67 x kg

3. number of neutrons = N number of protons = Z A= Z + N (2.1)
AVAGADRO’S NUMBER = x = NA
ATOMIC OR MOLECULAR WEIGHT =
NA x WEIGHT PER ATOM.
number of neutrons = N
number of protons = Z
A= Z + N (2.1)

4. Atomic Structure
Valence electrons determine all of the following properties
Chemical
Electrical
Thermal
Optical

5. BOHR ATOM

6. WAVE MECHANICAL MODEL OF ATOM

7. Electronic Structure
Electrons have wavelike and particulate properties.
This means that electrons are in orbitals defined by a probability.
Each orbital at discrete energy level is determined by quantum numbers.   Quantum # Designation
n = principal (energy level-shell) K, L, M, N, O (1, 2, 3, etc.)
l = subsidiary (orbitals) s, p, d, f (0, 1, 2, 3,…, n -1)
ml = magnetic 1, 3, 5, 7 (-l to +l)
ms = spin ½, -½

8. Electron Energy States
Electrons...
• have discrete energy states
• tend to occupy lowest available energy state. 1s 2s 2p
K-shell n = 1
L-shell n = 2 3s 3p

• Why? Valence (outer) shell usually not filled completely.

10. Electron Configurations
Valence electrons – those in unfilled shells
Filled shells more stable
Valence electrons are most available for bonding and tend to control the chemical properties

Electropositive elements:
Readily give up electrons
to become + ions.
Electronegative elements:
Readily acquire electrons
to become - ions.

13. Electronegativity • Ranges from 0.7 to 4.0,
• Large values: tendency to acquire electrons.
Smaller electronegativity
Larger electronegativity

19. FORCES AND ENERGIES

22. Bonding Forces and Energies
2.13 Calculate the force of attraction between a K+ and an O2- ion the centers of which are separated by a distance of r0 =1.5 nm.
Solution
The attractive force between two ions FA is just the derivative with respect to the interatomic separation of the attractive energy expression, Equation 2.8, which is just

23. The constant A in this expression is defined in footnote 3
The constant A in this expression is defined in footnote 3. Since the valences of the K+ and
O2- ions
(Z1 and Z2) are +1 and -2, respectively,
Z1 = 1 and Z2 = 2, then

25. IONIC FORCE / P 31 FOOT-NOTE
F= (Z1 *Z2 * e^2)/(4*π*ε0*r^2);

bonds determined by valence – s & p orbitals dominate bonding
